There are two american and one swedish publications on PubMed - check out: Am Heart J 2001 Jun;141(6):985-91 Clin Chem 2001 Mar;47(3):464-70 J Emerg Med 2000 Nov;19(4):311-5 JGM ... this reply consumed about 0.1secs of Google's time, 10 secs of PubMeds and 5 minutes of mine to type it, whilst giving my brain a rest from my day job - please enjoy!
